Abstract

We, the people of South Aflica,
Recognise the injustices of our past;
Honour those who suffered for justice and freedom in our land;
Respect those who have worked to build and develop our country; and
Believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity
(SA Constitution - Preamble)

The gross violation of human rights under apartheid in South Africa is well known. This violation had an impact on every sphere of South African life, including the welfare sector. Patel (1999:Foreword) confirmed this: "Whilst welfare systems worldwide were designed to support and promote human development, social justice and peace, the South African welfare policies violated universal principles".
